Glastonbury Festival-goers with a taste for luxury can opt for an alternative to crowded camping areas and flimsy tents.

A ‘glamping' company based near the festival provides handcrafted yurts, tipis and bell tents with their own electricity supply, along with facilities including hot showers and flushing loos, a restaurant and cocktail bar, a sauna and hot tubs, a beauty salon and wellbeing area.

Inner Sanctum is aimed at people who already have festival tickets but want to stay in eco-luxury off the site. A 24/7 shuttle bus connects Inner Sanctum with the Glastonbury Festival site.

Founders Ben and Lizzie said: “Having lived on the edge of Pilton, the village where Glastonbury Festival is held, for some twelve years, hand-making yurts for a living with our family business WoodSmoke Yurts, we finally decided we wanted to take our expertise and turn it into something even bigger.

“This is when Inner Sanctum was born, and where we create a space for customers to experience not only the magic of Glastonbury, but the magic of Inner Sanctum.

“Choose from beautifully furnished yurts, tipis, or bell tents, each one meticulously crafted and designed for your comfort. You can have yours fully beautifully furnished and with electricity to your own yurt side table. We even have some extra quirky campers joining our site, including a 1970s fully furnished horsebox and a shepherd’s hut up for grabs.

“Unwind in our plush yurt lounge or book a well-deserved massage in our wellbeing area. After treating yourself to a pre-party pamper you'll be positively glowing out there! Our wood-fired sauna is always ready to go, or watch the sunset in one of our hot tubs.

“All our furnished accommodation includes electricity sockets for charging your mobile devices. We offer free mobile charging in our communal areas as well, and free WiFi on the camp too!

“For evening entertainment, gather around the fire pit, sway to live music, or dance the night away in our magical bar yurt.

“The Beauté Shed’s founder Georgia has her newly renovated horsebox to bring beauty to you, Blowdrys, glitter, festival hair, foot soaks and massages, bamboo tension melt massages, full glam makeup and more are all available (at an additional cost).

“Lizzie and The Beauté Shed team collaborated together for the first time last year. Safe to say the wellbeing area was such a hit with last year's guests, we are delighted to be back.

“Inner Sanctum offers a secure and private environment with 24-hour security and a wristband-only entry policy.

“Our campsite and practices have been designed to high sustainable regulations so that you can ensure your relaxation never comes at a cost to the planet.”

Inner Sanctum is in no way affiliated with Glastonbury Festival and cannot provide festival tickets.​
